Letter from Janet Wilson 2/6/12, former Bernstein Winner 2003.

I am very excited to tell you that Salisbury University Bookstore will be selling my product (invention) a custom logo'd Salisbury University Beach Um ® in their store, as well as, their website in May 2012. Linda said they will be setting up advertisements soon to get peoples' interest before they arrive.

My business website is www.jlwilsonllc.com  if you would like to see what they will look like. Being alumni it is an honor to have my product with SU logo on it for everyone to see.  Also, I have entered a YouTube video in Wal-Mart’s www.getontheshelf.com contest. I am not really interested in winning as much as I am getting free publicity and exposure.
